FFS, is it important whether the sensor uses AI? I have a feeling that two decades ago, these people would have been offering a blockchain-driven sensor. Got to ride the wave.
I agree AI seems like it was thrown in for hype. But it may be the fire detection part of the system uses cameras and image recognition to detect undesirable fires, as opposed to the burners. Not exactly the AI people talk about now, but you've got to use the hot terminology.

The 3rd party analysis sounded primarily impressed with the rapid fire detection rather than the method of extinguishing. Nothing in the article or press release says anything about the fire detection since that isn't their current value proposition. Just wait for the company to pivot.
